Healthy managers

Good managers recognise the strengths and potential of the staff working with them and promote their well-being at work. There is consistent evidence that management support is a key protector of mental health at work.

'An essential guide to mental health and well-being' is a useful and informative guide which is targeted at new managers but contains information that would be of benefit to all levels of management. The guide contains advice on:

  • looking after your own wellbeing
  • how to be a good manager
  • managing your stress
  • dealing with distress in employees
  • recognising problems
  • managing sickness absence

This resource was designed and produced in response to requests by local managers in Northumberland, and funded by Northumberland Health Action Zone.
